A short walk from the beach and some of the best surf on
Kaua'i!
Hanalei Bed and Bay offers two distinct but charming
accommodations moments away
from the beach and bay of Hanalei: A rustic Garden Surf Cottage and
elegant
Rainbow House.
Landscaped for individual privacy, both vacation rentals share
the same landscape of coco palms, limes, oranges, avocado, breadfruit
papayas, and other tropical ornamentals. The premises are located one
block from Hanalei Bay on the North Shore of Kaua'i
Both the Garden Surf Cottage and Rainbow House are at the
quiet end
of the cu-de-sac of Malolo Place and are within a short walk or
bicycle ride of the nearby town of Hanalei, which lies sandwiched
between mountain peaks cascading with distant waterfalls and the
emerald shores of Hanalei Bay.
Hanalei is an hour drive from the airport of Lihu'e and is the
gateway to the Na Pali Coast.
Garden Surf Cottage
More or less 450 sq ft/42 sq m .
A rustic retreat [make sure
you and your traveling companion
understands the definition of rustic], this cottage is a
small but charming two
room plantation green cottage with white trim that sleeps two. A great
honeymoon retreat. Rustic in its simplicity, this cottage was designed
in the single wall construction popular during the 1930's and which has
been lovingly restored with tropical ceiling fans in each room.
An open air lanai covers both sides of the cottage.
The kitchen is well supplied with dishes, utensils, pots and
pans, table, chairs, a double deep sink, refrigerator, a two gas burner
stove, and toaster oven.
Cool Spanish pavers tile the floors throughout. Custom
cabinetry is found in both rooms. The indoor shower is attractively
lined with alpine slate. A pedestal sink graces the bathroom.
The only bedroom has a queen sized bed, a radio/CD / MP 3 player with a compliment of CD's. There
is a
flat panel TV connected to cable. There is a DVD player and WI FI
internet access. To adjust you to the island pace and way of life, we have eliminated telephones. Most major cell phone carriers work. Includes
towels and linens.
The laundry area is shared with Rainbow House, with a private
entrance giving you access to a tiled laundry area equipped with a
washer and dryer.
In contrast to our "Garden Surf Cottage", but located on the
same
property, is the Rainbow House...a elegant and colorful three bedroom
tropical vacation rental, capable of sleeping up to six, with all the
amenities you would want or expect.
Rainbow House is built in the old style of "board and batten"
and on stilts; graced with high ceilings to keep the days cool. You'll
find ceiling fans in every room as well. Old fashioned double hung
windows are found throughout and will keep the hottest day at bay, as
well as offer great views from most rooms.
The panorama from the spacious lanai, kitchen, and dining room
offers some exquisite views of waterfalls cascading in the distance.
The tiled lanai has a bench, hammock, chairs, and a lazy rocking chair
where you can spend the day counting waterfalls. The screened back
porch has a table and chairs and a delightful view of the garden.
The dining and living area boasts a big dining room table with
chairs and two comfortable couches. Both areas are great to linger and
to lounge. A VCR and DVD player and small inventory of Videos are there
to entertain.
A radio/CD / MP3 player and a compliment of CD's will set the mood.
There is cable TV and internet access.

sinks and showers. One bathroom has a tub which is especially useful
for a "soak " after a day of hiking or surfing.
